Love comes in all forms, and for the Urbane Interiors team, we prefer to show our affection by way of sweet sentiments in the homes of our clients...and in our own homes! We love to infuse spaces with special trinkets that bring happiness to those who get to enjoy them. February is a great time to highlight our favorites and in this month's blog, we are sharing those beloved items...and where to get them for yourself!
// UI FAVORITE -- LOVE IS IN THE AMBIENCE
If you are looking for a candle that is equally beautiful AND smells delicious, then this one hits all the marks! We love the rustic and industrial aesthetic of this candle as a decorative piece all on its own. But when lit, it brings a delightful aroma into any space. While we are candle enthusiasts, not candle experts, we will refer to the official description of this candle's aroma. As you can see, it is rich in notes...
Top: Warm Tobacco, Palo Santo
Middle: Jasmine, Decadent Leather
Base: Smoky Cedarwood, Patchouli
// UI FAVORITE -- ADORE THE PIECES THAT ADORN YOUR SPACE
It is no secret that travertine is making a big comeback these days. But don't fret...this is not the travertine of the late 1990s! Travertine is coming back in understated, subdued accent pieces...and we cannot get enough! This small decorative box hits all the must-haves that we need in an updated travertine piece. It is unique, has an interesting shape, and is just the right size the add to your bathroom vanity, an entryway console table, or on that shelf that you love to display beautiful collected items! Add a splash of Italy to your home with this beautiful piece!
// UI FAVORITE -- LIGHTING EVERY SPACE WITH LOVE
Not every room has the capacity for a statement chandelier or pendant. So what do you do when you want to add a little pizzazz to an otherwise ordinary area of lighting? Our answer...take an area that needs a flush mount lighting option and add some opulence! You know those areas of your home...perhaps a mudroom, a walk-in pantry, or a laundry room...they aren't the shining jewels of your home, but you certainly spend a lot of time in these areas. Why not add some beautiful lighting to spruce it up a bit? It would certainly make folding laundry feel a bit less dreary! While there are a plethora of beautiful flush mount lighting options out there, we love the classic, timeless appeal of this piece. After all, it is the unexpected additions to the utilitarian areas of your home that can make it feel custom and luxe!
// UI FAVORITE -- LOVING WHERE YOUR FEET LAND
Well, it is no surprise that CLJ (Chris Loves Julia) has done it again! Their latest launch of area rugs with Loloi is nothing less than crush-worthy! Their designs are simple, but the impact is BIG LOVE! This take on plaid from their Polly Collection can easily blend with any design aesthetic. And if you're looking for a way to add some moodiness and depth to your space, let's just assume that Cupid took his shot and hit the mark! We cannot wait to incorporate their latest line of area rugs into the Urbane Interiors spaces of 2024. Beat us to it and order one for yourself!
// UI FAVORITE -- WALL ART AMOUR, MORE & MORE!
Every home needs art. Yes, that is the entire message! But let's face it, not every budget can afford a commissioned piece from a beloved artist. While we love speciality pieces that have meaning to you and your life, we also love pieces that can be added seasonally...especially those that don't hit the budget in a big way. This piece from Studio McGee's line with Threshold at Target is stunning, brings forth that love of spring and summer florals, and it a great piece no matter your budget! And as we have hinted at the beginning of the year, warmer tones of beiges and browns are making a big statement in 2024, so this piece is an easy way to bring that palette into your home. As our principal designer Stephanie Park reminds us, it does not matter what you have spent on a piece...it is how you display and incorporate it into your home that can make any item, no matter the cost, look luxe and intentional!
At Urbane Interiors, we love LOVE...but most importantly, we want you to love your space! Your home should reflect who YOU are and the life you have lived...with that comes tokens of memories you have made along the way. While small trinkets and additions can add a fresh feel, it is truly the people who share your life with that make home feel like HOME. No matter how you choose to spend your time this Valentine's Day, we hope that it is with those that make you feel your best, hug you with a little extra squeeze, and make you laugh from the depths of your belly!
Cheers to your home and all the love it holds,
Stephanie Park
